| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions You are correct about the Yggy being a great DAC. I guess I was thinking of changing that so I can get the 2nd unfold of MQA. Neither my DAC nor the Bryston can do that.I'm thinking about adding a Roon Core device so it can be used for only that... | |
| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions The Small Greem Machine option would be the SonicTransporter I9 at $2700 with internal hard drive.Steve | |
| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions Da, that would have been nice to add! I listen to mostly jazz, female jazz, classical strings, piano. Looking at my favorites in Tidal, here is the list:Nora JonesNeil DiamondSusie ShuCivil WarsEmmylou HarrisAllison KraussHolly ColeGeorge Winsto... | |
| Thinking of buying a new DAC - Shiit Yggdrasil? I made the plunge and purchased one of the Yggys for sale here on Audigon. What a great seller! I did look at the Holo KTE and really want one, but that's about $1k more than the Yggy, so maybe I'll see a used one come up at some point. I"m sur... | |
| Thinking of buying a new DAC - Shiit Yggdrasil? I thought I would, and I appreciate the options given. I did look at the Terminator, but way out of my price range and used ones just don't appear often. Wondering if anyone has tried both the Gustard x20u and the Yggy. Or anyone have an opinio... | |
| Would a dedicated streamer enhance my system? Mreyn, that's exactly what I'm doing now. I had a big DA! moment when I figured that out. It's working beautifully now and I couldn't be happier with my BDP. If I want MQA, is simply use my computer and the desktop Tidal app direct to the SHD. ... | |
| Would a dedicated streamer enhance my system? Tuberist, have you considered the Primaluna Dac with your integrated? I'm thinking about it.... Too many tubes? Conflicts? | |
| Would a dedicated streamer enhance my system? Thanks, tuberist! The upgraded Sonos is about $850, but I'd spend up to $2,000 if there was a difference between a separate streamer and the miniDSP SHD. One change that I've made is adding Roon, which makes the BDP-1 much easier to use. I'm re... | |
| Looking for a SPDIF cable from Adiogon I had the opportunity to purchase a new Kimber D-60 in RCA at a reduced price. Just installed it and OMG what a difference. It's like a veil was lifted and the clarity and sound quality is amazing. I was reluctant to make this purchase because ... | |
| Looking for a SPDIF cable from Adiogon I've been reading a lot about the Black Cat Digit 75 cable and it sounds like a very nice cable. Again, I can't try them out because that is just too expensive and then I have a lot of cables not being used. I purchased the Primaluna because I w... | |
| Looking for a SPDIF cable from Adiogon Thank you for your comments. I guess I just don't know what sound I'm missing, so not sure what I'm looking for. Would love to try a few cables so I better understand the sound differences. That's why I am looking at used because if I don't hea... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers I have a close friend who has Macintosh gear (no tubes) and Maggie speakers. He has many of the same SACDs as I do, and as luck would have it, he has the same SACD by Melody Gardot (Absence) that started me concentrating on sibilance as a potent... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Oh it's still there. Primarily on one SACD: The Absence by Melody Gardot, and primarily on only two tracts. I do notice it in a small way on other pieces and I'm trying to find out if I'm just really listening for it, it's a recording issue, or ... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers I'm loving it! The Plinius was nice, but this is just a HUGE step up in my system. Listening to Domnerus Antiphone Blues right now and it's just amazing. I have no speakers that I can point to, just beautiful noise. | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Thanks again everyone! Moofoo, I'm 62, and my hearing has also changed. I wish I was into audio when I was younger, but at that time I also didn't have the funds due to raising a family. I'm into it now though!Just received my credits from Upsc... |
